World Mental Health Day

10/Oct/2017

The World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) is an international membership organization founded in 1948 to advance, among all peoples and nations, the prevention of mental and emotional disorders, the proper treatment and care of those with such disorders, and the promotion of mental health. The
WFMH established World Mental Health Day on 10 October 1992. The Deputy
Secretary General, Richard Hunter, was instrumental in starting the project,
which quickly evolved into a worldwide observance. Each year WFMH provides a
different packet of information on a selected topic. People in many countries hold
events and make proclamations based on the information. They use World
Mental Health Day to draw attention to the importance of mental health, knowing
there is much to be done to increase public education and advocacy. This is the
25th anniversary of World Mental Health Day.
This year’s theme, “Mental Health in the Workplace,” addresses the value of
promoting well-being in work settings of all kinds, from agriculture to industry,
finance, government, technology, and beyond. Mental health is often neglected
as a key aspect of employees’ overall health, yet the World Health Organization
points out that depression heads the list of causes of illness and disability
worldwide .To address these issues, it is imperative to engage businesses,
employers, legal rights advocates, unions, mental health providers, families,
service users, and others to promote meaningful employment for people who
experience mental health problems.Building mental health and wellness into an
organization’s culture is a shift that takes patience, dedication, and—we can’t
stress this enough—the clear and unequivocal support of leaders. If people are
an organization’s most valued resource, their mental wellness has to be top-of-
mind.
